Probably for kind of the same reason that speed is expressed as a
relationship between two units. You know, like miles per hour .
I guess the only reason is because no single unit has been invented
to describe density.
The rate of doing work or using energy would always be expressed
as a relationship between two units ... we would say that the rate of
work is "(so many) joules per second". But the "watt" was invented,
so we can say "(so many) watts" instead.
So I guess you're right. Density could be simpler to describe
if we only had a unit for it. Then we wouldn't have to say "(so many)
grams per cubic centimeter". We would just say "(so many) (new unit)".
Let's try it out:
"Uhhh, pardon me Professor . . . I've been working late in the lab,
and I believe I've identified a new substance, hitherto unknown to
the scientific community, and totally unexpected. In its pure form,
the substance appears to be pink, it smells like butterscotch, and
its density is approximately 27.4 Brianas. I think it's time we published
these findings ... with your name as lead investigator, of course."

Answer:
Infrared
Explanation:
This is the electromagnetic spectrum just above the visible light spectrum with higher energy (and higher frequency). This electromagnetic radiation is responsible for feeling the heat when you place your hand close to the side of a fire. It is also harnessed in night vision where bodies that emit some form of heat are visible due to their emission of IR.
The correct answer is: wavelength =
4562 nm
Explanation:Rydberg's formula is given as:
--- (1)
Where
R = Rydberg's constant = 1.096 * 10^7 per meter
= 5
= 7
λ = Wavelength
Plug in the values in (1):

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand the direction of heat flow.
Heat is the transferred thermal energy from one body to another body due to the temperature difference just like water flows from higher level to lower level.
Whenever two bodies having different temperature come closer to each other heat will flow from hotter body to cooler one if no external work is done. The heat flow may be through any of the ways i.e conduction,radiation or convection. Hence temperature difference is the parameter which gives the direction of heat flow.
The temperature is also considered as a measure of average kinetic energy of the substance.The thermal energy does not give the direction heat flow. Heat may flow from the body having low thermal energy but at higher temperature to the body having higher thermal energy but at low temperature. The reverse does not happen naturally .
In example 1 there is fire and air. Obviously fire is at high temperature and air at low temperature.So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2.
In example 2 there is a metal at 80 degree Celsius and another metal at 12 degree Celsius .So heat will flow from object 1 to object 2
In example 3 we have cooler ocean and warm air. So the heat will flow from object 2 to object 1.
In example 4 we have a tool with high thermal energy and a material with little thermal energy.We already know that thermal energy can not determine the direction of heat flow. Here the temperature of each substance is not given.The kinetic energy is part of thermal energy.So there is the chance of higher kinetic energy of the tool for having higher thermal energy .At that time the heat will flow object 1 to object 2.Otherwise the reverse will occur. So it is a special case.
As per the question only option 4 is correct which tells that heat will flow from object 1 to object 2 in examples 1,2,4, and heat will flow from object 2 to 1 in example 3. Other options violate the fundamental law of thermodynamics.
